BBQ Grill Safety

There is no better time to start thinking about cooking outside than
when the weather starts to warm up and it stays light outside longer.

While grilling can be a great alternative to cooking inside, did you
know that almost 60% of all grill fires on residential properties occur
in the summer?  These fires, that can damage property and cause injury
and even death, are often preventable.

Follow the tips below to make sure you keep you and your
family safe when grilling this summer.

Top Grill Safety Tips

  • Grills should only be used outdoors and at least 10 feet away from a
    house or any building.
  • Do not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or
    under a surface that can catch fire.
  • The grill should be placed well away from deck railings and out from
    under eaves and overhanging branches.
  • Children and pets should stay away from the grill area.
  • Grills should be kept clean by removing grease or fat buildup from
    the grill itself and in the trays below the grill.
  • Never leave a grill unattended.
  • Keep lighted cigarettes, matches, or open flames away from the
    grill.

Charcoal grills

  • If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never
    add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the lit fire.
  • Never burn charcoal inside of homes, vehicles, tents, or campers.
    Charcoal should never be used indoors, even if ventilation is provided.
  • When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before
    disposing in a metal container.
  • Since charcoal produces CO fumes until the charcoal is completely
    extinguished, do not store the grill indoors with freshly used coals.
  • Store charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat
    sources.

Gas Grill

  • Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, and leaks.
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when operating a gas
    grill
  • If you detect a leak, immediately turn off the gas and don’t attempt
    to light the grill until the leak is fixed

Many people put-off baby proofing because they do not have the time- there is absolutely no excuse for that. I have taken care of patients who have their babies fall down stairs, choke on door stoppers, and pull down furniture onto themselves. This can be prevented. And the service is very affordable- the only additional cost versus doing it yopurself is the labor cost.Thank you to Baby Safe Homes for providing an excellent service to me and my patients.

Hi all. I just wanted to let you know that we recently used Baby Safe Homes to childproof our house. More than a few friends referred us to this company and I can’t speak highly enough it. They came to our house for a consultation, made recommendations, and did immediate installation. He was very honest and didn’t pressure us to buy or install anything we didn’t feel we needed to. If you have an infant ready to crawl (as we do) I’d highly recommend Baby Safe Homes.

Thank you very much for making my house a safer place for my twin girls. You did a wonderful job! Everything works great, and I’m starting to appreciate all the devices even more as the girls get better at getting into things. I will certainly recommend Baby Safe Homes to all of my friends with kids and my patients.

Baby Safe Homes was an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt so overwhelmed by the process of babyproofing I procrastinated until my 8 month old was on the go. Within a few short days of my initial call Baby Safe Homes came out, gave me the guidance I needed, and proofed my entire house with top of the line products all within a 2 1/2 hour period. I can actually get more done now without constantly stopping to chase my son!

Thank you for helping us babyproof our new home. I loved that you gave us all the options and didn’t push anything on us and allowed us to pick what we felt was necessary. Also, I couldn’t believe how quick everything was finished. Within a few days of speaking with you, you came out and installed everything in just 2 hours! Our stair gates look and work great! I wish I had heard of you before and I will definitely recommend you to all of my family and friends. Thanks again.
